MapTap April final scores, players post leaderboard runs
On April 26 and 27 MapTap players shared final scores from the daily geography puzzles, with highlighted runs posting final totals of 981, 950, 916, and 675. MapTap asks players to pinpoint five world locations on a 3D globe and awards per-location scores that add up to each final total, and the shared runs show many 100s, 99s, and 98s. The top April run reached 981 thanks to two perfect 100s and a 99, while lower runs slipped into the 600s after big misses on places such as Afghanistan or unfamiliar megacities. Those score gaps show why the game rewards both factual geography knowledge and precise placement, keeping daily leaderboards competitive and replayable.
